I had visited the temple several times, whenever I could during my visits to NYC. This is sad and infuriating. Getting rid of the icons of St. Augustine Zhao Rong and St. Andrew Kim as well? How un-PC! Once the icon of Christ Pantocrator is removed I will have no reason to visit the temple at all.

No approval whatsoever from Disney or Lucasfilm? Why aren't they suing GQ then? The photoshoot is protected under fair use, because it's parody? Or are Disney and Lucasfilm lying about their involvement to protect their family-friendly reputation?
